Dear Lord
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I can't take what's going on
With my friends and family
I can't take what's going on
Baby, with you and me
I'm sorry for the things I've done
I'm sorry for wanting to run
But, dear Lord, when You did not come
My faith was gone
With this world gone to hell
And my freedom locked away in jail
Lord, it's become so hard to tell
If You're there at all
I'm sorry for the things I've done
I'm sorry for wanting to run
But, dear Lord, when You did not come
My faith was gone
Fail me, I don't need to shout
When I turn your water into wine
Fail me, I don't need to shout
When I turn your water into wine
Is there a chance to be redeemed?
Is there another night to dream?
Lord, are You somewhere unseen?
I believe you are
I'm sorry for the things I've done
I'm sorry for wanting to run
But, dear Lord, when You did not come
My faith was born
Fail me, I don't need to shout
When I turn your water into wine
Fail me, I don't need to shout
When I turn your water into wine
Fail me, I don't need to shout
When I turn your water into wine
Fail me, I don't need to shout
When I turn your water into wine
